It was aimed to investigate the efficiency of forest protection
practices on the biodiversity conservation in Juniper stands 
of Zagros forests, Iran in this research. Two protected and 
unprotected Juniper stands were selected in Zagros forests 
as the study areas. They were inventoried by line intersect
sampling method to estimate the number of tree and shrub 
species in four height levels (<0.5m, 0.5-1.0m, 1.0-1.5m, 
1.5m<). The results showed that the biodiversity and 
richness of the protected  Juniper stand were significantly 
higher that of the unprotected one. It is also necessary to 
mention that the indicators in each height level were higher 
in the protected stand but the differences were insignificant. 
It was concluded that although the species diversity was 
improved in the protected Juniper stand but more tending 
operations  are  necessary to make significantly different 
diverse stands by protection strategies in Juniper forests of 
Zagros region.
